So yesterday, I met with Sabah and Hala for lunch to discuss the plans for next week. We had lunch in Covent Garden and caught a glimpse of a street performer, didn't see much cause we were just passing by. But if you ever do go to Convent Garden in the mid - afternoon or evening, you should look around for the street performers because some of them are really good. Some of them aren't good and so you just walk away after wasting 5 minutes of your life.
After lunch, we decided to go shopping on Oxford Street and made a small trip to the Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs stores off of Oxford Street. The Marc by Marc Jacobs stuff has nice stuff that is usually very reasonably priced. I've heard a reference in an article calling the Marc by Marc Jacobs store a 'pound shop' because they sell stuff that will actually just cost you a pound! Don't be fooled though, bags are still like 250 pounds.
On the way back, we spotted some of the elephants that have been placed around London. In case you haven't heard, the Elephant Parade Campaign organised by the Elephant Family Charity have placed over 250 model Elephants around London to raise awareness about the endangered Asian Elephant. Some of the Elephants are really beautifully decorated. I've spotted loads in Trafalgar Square, on and off Oxford Street, in Green Park and pretty much all over London really. Here are a few that we spotted yesterday:
Oh and I managed to 'make my mark' around 2 more places at uni. So now that's 3, 2 more to go (maybe more). Here is the evidence, again hopefully no one can see these although these 2 aren't as discrete as the first one was.
So that's all for now. At lunch we sorted out our plans for the rest of this week and next week. We will be going to Westminster Abbey to check out the books with the gigantic writing. As well as dedicating one whole day to the Science Museum, Natural History Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Will keep you updated so remember to keep watching THIS SPACE.
Are you watching???
